I use a Merlin 384.4_2 build.
Trying to configure OpenVPN client, all setting is set, next - I try to fill keys and certificates. Copy-paste them from files (all content between "BEGIN" and "END"), "Save" button.
Next, after fill and save - press "Apply" button on the page.
Wait for a count to 100%
And, voila - in the keys and certificates page (after press "Edit" key) - there's no filled keys and certs!!!
When try to ON connection - get:
"
May 10 20:11:38 rc_service: httpd 313:notify_rc start_vpnclient1
May 10 20:11:40 ovpn-client1[10612]: Options error: You must define CA file (--ca) or CA path (--capath)
May 10 20:11:40 ovpn-client1[10612]: Use --help for more information.
May 10 20:11:40 syslog: VPN_LOG_ERROR: 492: Starting OpenVPN failed...
May 10 20:11:40 kernel: Interface tun11 doesn't exist
May 10 20:11:40 kernel: Interface tap11 doesn't exist
"
in the log.
What's wrong??? Why keys and certs not saved??? Tried to reboot - nothing helped
 
You must also include the BEGIN and END lines.
 
Hi,

i have the same problem - and i am inlcuding the begin and end lines. Everything is copied from pre made certficates from PIA VPN. Any suggestions?

Also - when applying settings - this picture appears for 1 second then goes back to the "normal settings" page:
